Abstract
Phototherapy systems comprising a therapeutic lamp platform for radiant lamps such as LEDs disposed in an assembly including a reflective surface facing towards a patient and a plurality of light apertures substantially aligned with the LEDs for communicating lamp radiation from the lamps to a user. The lamps and associated circuitry are disposed so that the reflective surface is relatively smooth and seamless towards the patient. The walls have a malleable rigidity for flexible adjustability relative to the user, and the device is mounted to the user with a frame.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1. A phototherapy device comprising:
a wearable therapeutic lamp platform including a plurality of radiant lamps emitting radiant energy at one or more wavelengths and a reflective wall including a plurality of radiant energy communication areas aligned with the radiant lamps and disposed to communicate the radiant energy to a user treatment area associated with a user, and wherein the reflective wall is further formed to disperse over the user treatment area radiant energy reflected from the user treatment area back to the user treatment area; and
a frame for supporting the platform on the user and positioning the therapeutic lamp platform to space the reflective wall from the user treatment area at a distance spaced from a nose of the user.
2. The phototherapy device according to claim 1 , wherein the radiant energy communication areas include a plurality of apertures disposed on the reflective wall.
3. The phototherapy device according to claim 2 , wherein the plurality of apertures include a plurality of through-holes disposed on the reflective surface.
4. The phototherapy device according to claim 1 , further comprising an outer wall spaced from the reflective wall, wherein the radiant lamps are interposed between the outer wall and the reflective wall.
5. The phototherapy device according to claim 1 , wherein the wavelengths include at least two of red, blue and infrared.
6. The phototherapy device according to claim 1 , wherein the reflective wall is a smooth and seamless wall oriented towards the user treatment area.
7. The phototherapy device according to claim 1 , wherein the reflective wall has a parabolic bias for the dispersing of the radiant energy across the user treatment area of the user.
8. The phototherapy device according to claim 1 , wherein the frame includes an eyeglass frame.
9. The phototherapy device according to claim 8 , wherein the eyeglass frame includes an eye shielding lens.
10. The phototherapy device according to claim 8 , wherein the eyeglass frame includes an eye shielding cover.
11. The phototherapy device according to claim 1 , wherein the frame includes goggles.
12. A phototherapy device comprising:
a wearable therapeutic lamp platform including a plurality of radiant lamps emitting radiant energy at one or more wavelengths and a reflective wall with a plurality of radiant energy communication areas aligned with the radiant lamps and disposed to communicate the radiant energy to a user treatment area, and wherein the reflective wall includes one or more areas to prevent radiant energy transmission through the reflective wall from the radiant lamps and a plurality of other areas corresponding to the plurality of radiant energy communication areas which allow transmission of the radiant energy through the reflective wall from the radiant lamps and wherein the reflective wall is further formed to disperse over the user treatment area radiant energy reflected from the user treatment area back to the user treatment area; and
a frame for supporting the platform on the user.
13. The phototherapy device according to claim 12 , wherein the reflective wall includes a transparent wall including one or more treated areas to prevent radiant energy transmission through the transparent wall from the radiant lamps and a plurality of other nontreated areas corresponding to the plurality of radiant energy communication areas which allow transmission of the radiant energy through the reflective wall.
14. The phototherapy device according to claim 12 , wherein the reflective wall includes a wall including one or more nontreated areas to prevent radiant energy transmission through the transparent wall from the radiant lamps and a plurality of other treated areas corresponding to the plurality of radiant energy communication areas which allow transmission of the radiant energy through the reflective wall.
15. The phototherapy device according to claim 12 , wherein a masking process is used to provide the plurality of radiant energy communication areas aligned with the radiant lamps and disposed to communicate the radiant energy to a user treatment area.
16. The phototherapy device according to claim 12 , wherein the radiant energy communication areas include a plurality of apertures disposed on the reflective wall.
17. The phototherapy device according to claim 16 , wherein the plurality of apertures include a plurality of through-holes disposed on the reflective surface.
18. The phototherapy device according to claim 12 , wherein the radiant lamps are interposed between the outer wall and the reflective wall.
19. The phototherapy device according to claim 12 , wherein the wavelengths include at least two of red, blue and infrared.
20. The phototherapy device according to claim 12 , wherein the frame includes an eyeglass frame.Cited by (0)
